Reduce physical strain in the clinic
A reminder: https://www.dvm360.com/view/reducing-physical-strain-in-veterinary-medicine Years ago I was a bike racer ("roadie") and our team motto was "make practice harder than the games". Our training rides were at a level of intensity that was harder than actual races. Once it came time to compete, we knew we were more than ready. Want a clinic day to feel less demanding and exhausting? Prepare accordingly. Free resources are in the community Classroom. You got this!

Reduce physical strain in the clinic
YouTube - Past and Present
Whoa! I am coming back up for air after going deep into my YouTube vids over the years. In 2015 I founded a rehab and performance practice, MoveMend. In doing that I dove into YouTube and other platforms to share my expertise. I also shared what was NOT my expertise, which happened to be speaking on video! Talk about humble beginnings (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73GBZIdHQTs). Since that 2016 video I've done hundreds of YT videos, including for my coaching business and podcast Healthspan Digest, and more recently for Project Vetspan. I share this mostly because I'm both laughing at some of my old content as well as appreciating that we are all a work in progress. We learn, evolve, change, and generally bump along doing the best we can. I hope you take a few moments and appreciate the changes you've had in the past decade. There are more to come. This community, along with my Project Vetspan (https://projectvetspan.com/) coaching is all about making the best of today and evolving for tomorrow. If you want a resource to help you on your journey let me and the community know. We're all in this together. Onward! (image is from my 1st clinic buildout in 2015)

Courses / Webinars / Podcasts to share?
Do you have an interesting course or podcast coming up or one that you found helpful (in the personal wellness space) that you'd like to share? I just presented a webinar for VETgirl on micro-habits to improve physical and emotional resilience in vet med. This weekend I'll be presenting at the CSU Vet Conference on "The Veterinary Athlete: The Vetspan Blueprint for Career Durability". My podcast co-host @Jennifer Edwards has a presentation tonight, March 4, "Sustainable Wellness by Design" (register here: https://www.nhvma.com/page/Webinars). What do you recommend?
